Austerity in the Great White North: Harper Gang cuts everything but doubles spending on propaganda

(Before It's News)

Bruce Cheadle had an informative story in the Globe today. Seems that since they came to power the Harperites have doubled the annual expenditure on advertising. Ironically, most of the advertising campaigns are designed to convince Canadians that the spending cuts are good for them.

Not all Canadians are buying in. Cindy Blackstock, a First Nations spokesperson, says “it’s disturbing that millions are being spent on government ads when First Nations children go to school in moldy classrooms.”

She might have added “and when entire Native communities live in substandard housing and when Canadian Indians are suffering a suicide epidemic that shames Canada in front of the entire world.”

It’s not “disturbing”, Cindy. It’s an outrage and an absolute disgrace!
